Reunion

Due to the heavy raining during the past month, I haven’t got real climbing training in a couple of weeks and it was clearly evidenced by my extremely pumped forearms. 2 laps in the cave and my fingers couldn’t hold me on the small crimpers. I need to get back into real training!
I enjoyed the landscape in the meantime, everything was so green, full of flowers and insects…

Thanks to Jin-Shan Tseng for submitting the patch 
As always, we made all the fun from Armando’s stories. This time was his recent trip to Yosemite and his “epic” climb of El Capitan: 6 days on the Triple Direct! You can imagine the rest… 






After a strenuous week and a lot of attended emergencies, yesterday I managed to do my afternoon run in the rain and was even invited to dinner at Fer’s place. She took care of all the cuisine duties while I was watching and resting. Delicious cooking!
After that, we went into a TV marathon that included The Pink Panther, Top Cat and 2 movies. Even though it was a great evening, I fell asleep during the second movie and barely managed to return home after that.
Today I keep feeling sleepy and again I ask: why am I so tired? I think I need vacations… 
Commensal strains of bacteria may establish themselves in the intestine by damaging eukaryotic cells, just like pathogenic bacteria, according to a new study in Science. The researchers found that both pathogenic and commensal strains of Escherichia coli possess a set of genes that lead to double-strand breaks in host cell DNA — a mechanism that could also trigger intestinal cancer, the authors say…


This morning I went for my weekend (yes, no mid-week training for the moment) dose of endurance climbing. All I could get was a single lap done and a huge pump in my forearms due to the excesively wet conditions of the university wall.
Have you ever tried to climb a waterfall with the water actually falling in your hands? Well, this waterfall was not high but wide, 400 meters wide actually… Strenuous! 
I’m not a soccer aficionado, but if you like soccer and want to get recent news and stats, then check out the brand new Y! Telemundo and Y! México mexican soccer league sites. I hope you like them.
To celebrate the end of this 1st development/launch state, I went for the distance and managed to run one of my longest routes in Cd. Satélite. The evening was a bit rainy, but really great to refresh my thoughts while enjoying the sunset…
